It is native to Sulawesi, the Maluku Islands, New Guinea and Queensland (north-eastern Australia).[1]

The genus name of Levieria is in honour of Emilio Levier (1839–1911), a Swiss-born Italian botanist, mycologist and plant collector in Florence.[3] It was first described and published in Malesia Vol.1 on page 192 in 1877.[1]
